Tell 'em Billy sent ya!

It's either bad timing or bad taste ( or a spicy soupcon of both) but a HEALTH insurance company is running a commercial campaign featuring the recently defunct Billy Mays! Billy looks unusually slender ( he also throws a rented sports coat over his chambray) but still manages to reach the upper decibels in the ad. I enjoyed Billy as much as the next person ( when I wasn't Tivo'ing past him to get back to So You Think You Can Dance) but having a heart attack victim pitching bargain basement ultrasounds and prostate exams is a little too Tarantinoesque. Billy's next commercial? A pocket sized device that helps you push up daisies without getting your hands dirty....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7d85T4OfqA
